Drew Brees contract

Nassau Gamecock · 07-11-2012, 03:30 PM

So there's some room to negotiate on the contract. He wants more ($20 Mill);they don't ($19.2 mil).
What if they keep it as is and put up 20-30 lock boxes around the stadium. Say to the fans- if Drew played well, drop a couple of bucks in the box. If not, don't. They (Stadium guards and Brees' rep) empty the boxes each week and give him the cash. He throws 3 int and fumbles, not so much. 45 points and is sharp = $5* 60,000 people.
AND do this for one year and see how the $ work out- how close he comes to his $20 mill and then lock it in. Of course if he's close, he pads the kitty himself to lock in the guarantee.
No skin off the owner's nose; let the people decide.
Then there's a bank of boxes - one for everybody- and you pay them directly.
Just a thought

That's a good idea. I still think the whole contract deal is ridiculous as it is. I mean, the man is already rich enough. Whining over $800,000 is pretty crazy.

Salary cap violation. Problem with saints play for pay scheme as well even if it wasnt a true bounty. Anyone could stuff a box

Those are called incentive contracts and that is what all jobs should be based on including sports. Pay him 16 mil have him cap out at 22 mil if he wins every game and leads the saints to a superbowl win. I don't agree with this because the fans are already putting a lot of money into football seats/tickets each year. If it did get implemented, it should go both ways for under par performance give the fans their money back for the games the teams lose.

Breesus wants 20 million and all his targets are gone since he is eating up tons of salary cap space. Personally if he doesn't play next season I couldn't care less. What a selfish SOB.

USCgamecocks · 07-11-2012, 04:34 PM

This is probably his one and only big contract, he should get every penny he can.

This.

I bet he loses more than a mil in endorsement value because of this

he has been screwed over by the franchise tag once before. Remember he wasn't given the big contract he deserved in San Diego because of Philip Rivers on the sideline. Then he got hurt and and he didn't get the money he should have. Now he doesn't what the same thing to happen.

not likely.

JT21 · 07-11-2012, 06:56 PM

He's just trying to make up for the fact that he's outplayed his 6yr-$60M contract the past 5 years.

He will not lose a single penny of potential endorsement money over this.

Exactly. He has been burned before so he's making sure that he gets all that he can while he can. Many of the people on this board freaking out over this would be applauding Cam for doing the exact same thing.

carolinafan111 · 07-12-2012, 11:25 AM

Brees has been the best passer in the league for the last 5 years. I think he deserves to be paid as such.

Good teams pay to keep their good players..

I Bleed Garnet · 07-12-2012, 11:30 AM

He wants an actual contract not just a one year franchise tag

TheGarnetKnight · 07-13-2012, 01:28 AM

He needs to take the $19.2 million and quit whining. The Saints only have $3 million available right now in cap room so if he does get the sand out of his vagina, they will still have to cut $16 million in salary - that's other players - to accommodate Princess Brees.

Ignorance at its finest. Most of the people on this board hate the Panthers and/or Cam. Good try though.

No they dont

scfanz · 07-13-2012, 07:41 AM

This is exactly what turns me off for professional sports. Two multimillionaires arguing over $800,000. That's alot of money to you and me, but once the agents and taxman gets involved its not that much. I can't find any sympathy for Brees.

I love the Panthers and Cam..I also wouldn't be applauding him for asking for more money. I understand how much money these guys pull in but come on man..after you get up that high in a contract what's 1 million dollars to him??

If I am not mistaken, it is more about the guaranteed money than the actual salary. I think I heard that he two are 10 million apart in guaranteed money, which is more important for an injury prone, older QB like Brees.

If it is just the salary part, then if he doesn't show up to camp on Monday he is a moron
